Root Canal Dentist

Teeth have tough enamel on the outside, but inside they have a soft cavity, or pulp chamber, and a root canal that contains a nerve. If the inside of your tooth becomes infected or inflamed — for example, because of an untreated cavity — you might need a root canal.

In order to remove the infection and save the tooth, we must clean out the tooth’s pulp, remove the nerve from the root canal, and fill the pulp with a material that seals the tooth and prevents the infection from getting back in.
